So Santa’s getting ready to come down the chimney, right about the time we’re coming down from last week’s upsets. Finally, the Patriots can’t pull out a last-minute miracle..was Brady distracted thinking about what to get his wife for Xmas? And the Chargers turned up the electricity while upsetting the Broncos…it’s enough to make you wish for Philip Rivers to pop out an eighth kid!

And with two weeks left in the season, other players and teams are thinking about the perfect way to reward fans, teammates and baby mamas. In case you didn’t know that the NFL is the gift that keeps on giving, consider the following examples –

As a fan, it is as glorious as if Justin Timberlake and Beyonce had a baby who danced and sang all day on your front porch while you sat nearby working on your laptop, smiling.
